“KBC Is Not Just a Show, It’s a Family!" – Amitabh Bachchan Gets Emotional on Kaun Banega Crorepati - Gyan Ka Rajat Mahotsav

Mumbai: Sony Entertainment Television’s beloved gameshow, Kaun Banega Crorepati, is set to celebrate a remarkable milestone—25 glorious years of knowledge, of enabling dreams to become reality, and building moments that are life-changing. The grand celebration kicks off on January 20, with the "Gyan Ka Rajat Mahotsav," promising nostalgia, excitement, and other unforgettable memories.  

Making this occasion even more special, the first contestant to take the hot seat in this milestone season is Anjali Tomar from Chandigarh. A woman with big dreams and an unbreakable spirit, Anjali sees KBC as a life-changing opportunity to transform her future and secure a better life for her loved ones.  

During the episode, a heartfelt video plays for Amitabh Bachchan, featuring messages from his fans congratulating him on completing 25 years of Kaun Banega Crorepati. One audience member passionately shares, "KBC is like a festival, a magical experience, and Big B is the magician. People cannot imagine KBC without you. This show should continue for another 25 or even 50 years, with you being an integral part of this journey."

Moved by all the love and blessings coming his way, an emotional Amitabh Bachchan responds, “Thank you very much, Deviji. You have said such kind and wonderful things. I have never looked at this show as just work. Every contestant who steps onto this platform, and every audience member present, feels like a guest in my home. Just as we welcome guests with warmth and hospitality at home, I strive to extend the same courtesy here. To me, you all truly feel like family. Life brings its share of ups and downs, and when I see contestants performing well, it fills me with immense joy. But when they struggle or lose, it deeply pains me. I have often said that the pain contestants feel is something I experience as well. Witnessing someone in distress is never easy. This game holds the power to transform lives in a single moment with just one correct answer. People come here carrying countless hopes and dreams, and being a part of those moments as their dreams unfold is a source of inspiration for me. I hope the love and affection from all of you continues to grow stronger forever."

Adding a touch of humor to lighten the atmosphere, AB says with a smile, "You’re talking about 25 or 50 more years… Are you aware of my age? I might not even be around by then! But I sincerely pray that this show continues to live on forever."
